I'm Stefanie and I organized with the fanclub already three
concerts and a house concert with Andrea in Germany. I wanted
to tell you my personal experiences, so that you can see that
it is not too difficult.
The idea that Andrea will come to Germany to give a concert for
the members of his fanclub was quickly born after we founded
the fanclub. But we wanted to give him the chance to present
his music to a wider audience. So I started to search for a
suitable location. A municipality at our region is known for
its cultural events, mostly they present jazz events, but at
times also classical concerts or cabarets and so on. I was
calling the culture centrale of the municipality Saarwellingen.
The responsible person of the culture centrale. Mrs. Cornelia
Rohe, told me that they would provide us the concert hall for
free and that a nice Pianoforte belongs to the concert hall. So
Andrea and his friends just had to bring the rest of their
equipment. The culture centrale put an announcement about the
concert on their offical even schedule and made publicity in
the regional newspapers. They hired Andrea one year later to
play the Matinée and a few years later we organized for him a
concert at Bietzen.
Still we made also publicity ourselves by inviting our friends
and relatives and by printing flyers and sharing them with
friends. So some of our friends came to the concert in company
of their friends.
Certainly at your region exist also locations (pubs, public
buildings, churches), which host such events like concerts? All
it takes are a few calls to find a location and to confirm the
date. You only have to ask what kind of equipment is available
(piano, amplifiers, speakers , etc.) and if you can use the
location for free or if you have to pay a rental and to ask the
visitors for entrance fee. But note that the presence of a
piano is not a requirement, if necessary Andrea could use his
digital pianoforte!
So do not be scared, get in touch with Andrea! Maybe then you
can soon also enjoy such a magical evening like the one that we
had at Saarwellingen and years later at Bietzen. 😄
